[Gramps-devel] Name proposal

[Don A. <dal...@us...>]

Let me know if this would solve the name problems.

1) Add a surname prefix field.
2) Allow an option of case insensitive sort
3) Allow a marker in the alternate name list for preferred name. If no
preferred name is marked, then the primary name is considered to be the
preferred name. Reports could then have the option of using the primary
name or the preferred name.

I like using the alternate name list, because the preferred name may not
just be a first name. Consider an adopted child or a child of a divorced
family, who may prefer and use a last name other than the birth last
name.

The next question would be: is this important enough to try to get in
the 0.4.0 release?
